How comfy is an all night, no visa transit at DME?
I have a very, very cost conscious client that wants to endure a 14 hour layover at DME vs. getting a visa and hotel for a night. I'm up on SVO but know nearly nothing about DME. How comfy would airside/int'l be from 8 p.m. to 10 a.m. the next morning?
Are there rentable pods for sleeping? Last I was there I remember they had rentable DVD viewing rooms/cubicles with nice, big couches. Is there a transit hotel with no visa necessary?
Just curious what the options are.
Thanks to all!

I don't know all the options, because I usually use the Lufthansa Lounge which is reasonable and has showers. It is open 24 hours. Ms. ParisMoskau used it once for an overnight stay that was too short to use a hotel in town, and found it bearable; it was almost empty overnight and she could move a couple of chairs together.
If your client can access the lounge that may work. I don't think there is a transfer hotel. Without lounge access I don't think it's fun.
